In just one year the Interop Vendor Alliance (IVA) has more than doubled in size to comprise 50 companies and has delivered real-world interoperability results through the work of its technical labs, on display this week at Interop New York 2007. During that same period the Interoperability Executive Customer (IEC) Council has made strong progress across four significant work streams, addressing more than 60 percent of all issues raised within its first year of establishment.
The IEC Council and IVA are two initiatives born out of Microsoft Corp.’s enhanced commitment to identify and address, directly and through collaboration, the interoperability issues that matter most to customers. Both groups take a holistic approach and bring together leading minds focused on the same goal of realizing better IT interoperability, and through persistent hard work and analysis they have each produced tangible results in their first year.
